I only posted this to convey that the technology for non-lethal weapons has been around quite some time.
Why isn't it being implemented?

Analyzing the Future of Oil Prices: When Should You Invest?
Since peaking at $115.19 in June, the price for a barrel of Brent crude has tumbled over 40%. At its low point, in mid-January, it fetched $45.13, a full 60% lower than its high:
The plunge has been so steep that, due to a futures market quagmire known as contango, BP (BP) would rather store $1.25 billion worth of oil at sea than sell it.
For bears, the situation is vindicating. For bulls, it's a rare opportunity to build a position in energy on the cheap. For consumers, Goldman Sachs economists estimate, it may as well be a $100 billion tax break.
But what about the long term? Will we see more wild volatility and nosebleed highs, as we've come to expect in the past decade? Or is this the new normal? After all, $60 oil is not terra incognita: adjusted for inflation, the monthly average price per barrel of imported crude stayed below that level for 20 years:
The Supply Side
The United States
The American shale revolution is among the main culprits behind oil's swoon. Between 2011 and 2013, the United States overtook both Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world's largest producer by total oil supply:

How Investors View the Differences between Tangible and Intangible Assets
written by: John Garger•edited by: Michele McDonough•updated: 5/28/2010
The value of intangible assets can be much more variable than tangible assets. This variability increases the likelihood of a discrepancy between book and market values. Learn about how investors deal with the differences between the book and market values of tangible and intangible assets.
Tangible vs. Intangible Assets
Financial statements are historical documents that show what a company was worth at one point in time. Because of standard accounting practices, an asset must be recorded at the value for which it was purchased. Changes in markets, currency, and economic conditions all contribute to discrepancies between book and market values. The longer an asset is held by a company, the greater the chance that discrepancies exist.
One factor that affects the market value of an asset is intangibility. An intangible asset is one that does not have a physical form but provides value to the firm nevertheless. Examples of intangible assets include contracts and patents, i.e. assets that cost money to acquire but do not have easily-accessible markets through which to buy and sell them. Unlike tangible assets like machinery and automobiles, the lack of secondary markets increases the risk that the intangible asset can not be liquidated at a reasonable price.

I hope you had a great weekend, it's time to relax.
A nice little debate about depopulation.
There's only one way that I consider winning a debate. By allowing the opponent to point out the flaws in your armor / sources of information. The object of this game is also to track where the other individual obtained their information.
The only loser is the one that walks away, sticking to his or her beliefs in defiance of of the facts.
The only loser is the one that walks away, sticking to his or her beliefs in defiance of of the facts.
Never submit except unto the truth.
Round 2
Now to track the other individuals sources of information.
Happy Sunday.

A moment to say, "Thank you".
I have found this to be one of the best frequent traveler's tools thus far.
I wouldn't call it the "Holy Grail" yet it's on point.
Enjoy your weekend folks.

Ultimate Christmas Gifts.
*Under review.
If you’ve always had your heart set on a TRON Lightcycle — a working one, not a matchbox toy — you’d better start saving. The going rate (as much as there is a going rate for one-off movie-replica collectibles) is $77,000.
The bike was sold at auction by RM Sotheby’s, as part of a wider auction of the Andrews Collection, to an undisclosed (but damn lucky) bidder. It wasn’t even close to the most valuable lot, either — a 1962 Ferrari 400 went for $7,645,000.

That Nasty Azi.
The Azimut 42 Fly represents a remarkable feat of Italian design on a yacht that maximizes available space and the beautiful use of sumptuous materials, fine fabrics and sophisticated finishes with obvious applied attention to every detail. The quality of life aboard is enhanced by details that make all the difference: a barbecue at the stern, exclusive up and down swim platform and a sun-pad at the bow.
